Mask Reusing

#1

Hello everyone!
I trying to reuse mask in AE (CS3) without copying them. I mean the following:

I have several videos to be masked by the very same mask. I would like to avoid having a “mask layer” for each video (there are like 200 videoclips).

It would be perfect if the same layer could be used several times.

I’m projecting the video result on a wall and I’m using these mask to cut the clip in such a way it fits a shap on the wall. Each installation the wall is different, so even it is ok to re-render the video each time the installation change its place, have to re-shape 200mask layers is too time consuming! If I could re-use them, only re-shaping one would be enough

I have look thruogh the threads but found no one that could help me

Regards,

Buqpa!
